People Who Say They're Too

A Conservative Is Someone Who Does Not Think He Is Morally Superior To His Grandfather.

It's Too Much To Expect In An Academic Setting That We Should All Agree, But It Is Not Too Much To Expect Discipline And Unvarying Civility.

If The Tradition Which Claims That War May Be Justified Does Not Also Admit That It Could Be Unjustified, The Affirmation Is Not Morally Serious. A Christian Who Prepares The Case For A Justified War Without Being Equally Prepared For Hte Negative Case Has Not Soberly Weighted The Prima Facie Presumption That Any Violence Is Wrong Until The Case For An Exception Has Been Made.

The 'black Armband' View Of Our History Reflects A Belief That Most Australian History Since 1788 Has Been Little More Than A Disgraceful Story Of Imperialism, Exploitation, Racism, Sexism And Other Forms Of Discrimination. I Take A Very Different View. I Believe That The Balance Sheet Of Our History Is One Of Heroic Achievement And That We Have Achieved Much More As A Nation Of Which We Can Be Proud Of Than Which We Should Be Ashamed.
